PALATKA, Fla., July 27 (UPI) -- The parents of a young Florida woman involved in the disappearance of Haleigh Cummings have been jailed on drug charges.

Hank and Lisa Croslin were arrested last week, the Florida Times-Union reported. They were being held in Putnam County on probation violation charges and in lieu of $5,000 bail on a charge of buying crack cocaine from undercover officers.

Misty Croslin, 19, was babysitting Haleigh when the little girl vanished in February 2009. Croslin later married her boyfriend and Haleigh's father, Ronald Cummings, but they are now divorced.

Croslin has not been charged in connection with the disappearance. But she has been jailed in St. Johns County on a drug charge.

Her brother, Hank Croslin Jr., and Cummings are also in jail.

Investigators say Hank Jr. visited the mobile home where Croslin was caring for Haleigh the night she vanished.

No sign of the child has been found.
